Offering Services, Education & Support to Those With Alzheimer’s & Dementia & Their Caregivers
A Compassionate Non-Profit Organization
ALZ FOUNDATION was created by the Andrews family in 2015 when the mother of Alyson Andrews, who was in the early stages of Dementia, came to live in our home. As the disease of Dementia progressed, the needs and the care Carol required became more difficult.
As Carol's daughter, Alyson was fully responsible for her and became the guardian and caregiver. I witnessed the decline in Carol's activities, which included eating, sleeping, and bathing. All the activities of daily living were slowly but surely declining as the days, weeks, months, and years went on.
Support for Caregivers
We, as a family, made it our sole mission and purpose to provide Carol with the best care and comfort. We searched for assistance and resources to better deliver, understand and support not only Carol but each other as caregivers. Alyson ended up having to leave her job in education to be with her mother and provide the constant care and attention required. This overwhelming and daunting task was accepted with love, compassion, and determination. The 24/7 constant worry, struggles, and devotion placed on Alyson at times were too much to bear alone, and without much support services in our hometown, this caused mental, emotional, and physical harm to her as the caregiver. Thus the ALZ FOUNDATION was created for you, the caregiver. Visit the about page to find out more.
